A very good rendering of a very sensetive subject. You travel along with Alice as she fades deeper and deeper into Alzheimers and the effect it has on her family.
I admit that I have had this book for a few years, and I am just now getting to it. This book was an eye opener for me even though I know it's fiction...the writer made me feel it was a true story. I loved Alice, everything she did in her life was enhanced by her mind, she taught, she traveled, she wrote grants, her entire life was truly her mind. What a horrific thing to happen to her and to her family. I understand her comment in the book stating she'd rather have cancer, than being diagnosed

This was a sad but also very good story. I think the author did a wonderful job of making us feel the progress of the disease and changes in Alice from her perspective. I would recommend this book to anyone.
Such a strong heart-felt story about a brilliant Harvard professor being diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's at the age of 50. The reader lives through the development of this sad disease through Alice and her family. I learned so much. Well worth the read.

I have wanted to read this book for a long time, so glad the book club picked it. I feel like I understand Alzheimer's more, but I'm terrified that I will deal with this is the future with family. I thought it was very well written and thought provoking. Alzheimer's doesn't discriminate.

Powerful story, well written. This story will stay with me awhile
Powerful, wrenching, and unputdownable.
